With the
passing of the final inspection occupancy has been granted and the Conference Center’s new building, the Ecola
Dorm and Office Building is complete. Summer staff women moved into the ten top
floor dorm rooms on June 1, and the Ecola Bible School staff moved into their
offices in early July. Thanks to a dedicated staff and great volunteers,
landscaping, exterior painting, downspouts, and other details were completed
sooner than expected. The sprinkler system will wrap things up when installed
later this fall. Over 11,000 hours of volunteer labor were given for the
project and donations have completely covered the 1.17 million dollar building
cost.
With dorm construction done and the re-routing of guest
traffic through the backside of our grounds, we became painfully aware of the
unsightliness of some of the property. It was all hidden until now. Therefore a
plan has been developed with our grounds department staff and licensed landscape
architect Mark Hadley, to improve and beautify these and other campus areas that
clearly need upgrading.
Project offerings this summer and fund raising during the
next year will focus on raising the estimated $125,000 to pay for these
upgrades. Work will continue on through 2010 as we begin planning for the future
replacement of our kitchen and dining room.
We praise God for the many times and ways we saw Him
provide during our dorm project. We look forward to again seeing the Lord’s
blessing as we seek to bring all of our facilities up to a standard that we
believe blesses our guests and is honoring to God.
